In Reply to: Another major retailer (Wal-Mart) to go Blu-ray exclusive... posted by Russell on February 15, 2008 at 08:56:09:

It has been a non-stop flurry of bad news for HD DVD since Warner's decision to go BD exclusive. Between studios and retail stores abandoning the format, it will be interesting to see if Toshiba bails before Paramount and Universal.

Personally, I'm really hoping that the HD DVD software fire sales start soon, as there are some really good titles that I would love to have in my collection.

We will now see if the format war truly slowed the adoption of high-def media, or if the general public is just satisfied with plain old DVD. If Blu-ray fails to take market share away from DVD, it may never elevate itself beyond niche market status. 2008 is going to be a fascinating year.
